banks: WELLS FARGO WENT TOO FAR - 09/25/16 12:29 AM
You go into this bank and the people who work there make a big deal out of it. Its like a Broadway show with lots of movements, gestures, greetings and sayings with smiles that hang right off the faces for the first few seconds you enter. Live script, all rehearsed and play-acted designed with one thing in mind? If you guessed customer service, sorry, no cigar.
PREYED UPON
What the people who work there were doing was sizing you up for a inner ploy & tactic to boost the banks profitability and were doing this whether you liked it or not, agreed to it or … (12 comments)

banks: REAL ESTATE MOVIE 99 HOMES (gut wrench) - 08/14/16 12:01 AM
I came across a movie called 99 Homes and when I read the synopsis, decided to give it a go. It is about the Real Estate business and of course only those that are in it can really know if it is on track or not. The same with doctors, police and scientists too. When they watch their movies, they know real from Hollywood hype. Real is upon you here...
REMEMBER THE CRASH?
It takes us back to the most recent time of short sales, foreclosures, defaults, banking failures, cash for keys, bail-outs, loss of jobs, families in distress and uses reality, precise lingo and … (27 comments)

banks: WHEN I NEEDED REAL ESTATE HELP - 07/23/15 11:54 AM
I'll never forget it too. Short sales came into being. People were defaulting like crazy and foreclosures were looming and booming. There were so many that banks became back-logged and at some point, over time and creating it on the fly, the short sale option was born. It was just a word and banks, their employees or agents could not explain it let alone make sense of it
TRYING TO GET INFORMATION
So call your local bank? That was a two hour phone call assuming you get through, get switched to the right party right away and not some other place and your call is not dropped. … (4 comments)

banks: DOES REAL ESTATE BUG YOU? - 03/24/15 06:24 AM
I have been in Real Estate since 1978. It has never BUGGED me but has caused me to visit with a lot of bugs.This business is full of insects, creepy crawlies and those that prey on insects or repel them depending on what is at stake and of course the location. See if you have any of these buzzies around
TAKE FOR INSTANCE............
Sellers Bug:.....This bug looks and sounds bigger than it is, and often is mistaken for being more bug than it is worth it is a rather large bug, brightly colored with a hard shell that can only be cracked … (0 comments)

banks: SQUATTERS DON'T KNOW DIDDLY SQUAT - 10/09/14 07:20 AM
No longer will the hands of banks and private owners be tied and subject to injustice in regards to invaders entering into a residential property and being able to stay there without fear or consequences. Squatters, trespassers and home invaders regardless of their tactics have finally been check-mated
WHAT THE HECK TOOK SO LONG?
This has been a huge problem in the Real Estate industry for decades especially during and after the most recent devastating Real Estate crash. I am sure everyone remembers the oft used saying..."possession is nine tenths of the law" meaning whoever is in possession, rules the roost. Well its true!
THIS BOGGLES THE … (7 comments)

banks: SENSING A MARKET SHIFT OF SOME SORT? - 05/06/14 01:09 AM
We just came out of the mother of all Real Estate cycles that devastated banks, lenders, investors, insurance companies, buyers, borrowers and sellers leaving the Real Estate wounded and dead all across the United States and even overseas too
PREY TELL?
The third leg of the stool of the United States which is Real Estate and all its related and relevant industries were knocked around and then down and stayed down for years. Brutal this Real Estate cycle was because it was manipulated by opportunists that saw and seized on a weaknesses in the systems that specifically guard against this type of failure. Government wasn't governing
HOW CONVENIENT
Remember, when the crash … (8 comments)

banks: REMEMBER WHEN BPO'S CAME OUT? - 12/13/13 08:17 AM
I couldn't believe it. Banks were willing to PAY an agent for his opinion? Made perfect sense too. WE KNOW STUFF! I thought that a great way to supplement my income in a crashing market. So, what do you have to do? Contact a bank and get on their radar. Easier said and done. If & when you did sign up, you would always be looking for notifications
THE HARE WINS THIS RACE
Here's the rub. Every-time I got an email from the diffrent banks saying a BPO opportunity is available please respond, I was always too late. Someone got there before me. Okay, I … (9 comments)

banks: ITS MY FAULT FOR HAVING $100 - 11/05/13 01:17 AM
I went to a place of business for fun. I was going to purchase something and stood in line. The names and locations are not disclosed to protect the innocent. I wait and wait at this busy place and then my turn comes. Me and my wife, in our sixties, low key, honest decent people out spending money order up. I go to pay with a hundred dollar bill

banks: MY CLIENTS GOT THEIR FORECLOSURE CHECK - 05/24/13 12:15 AM
I blogged about it, I fought for it, I stood hard and unwavering and was knocked down, hung up on, made fun of and thrown to the streets. Got up, did some reality math which added up to this: My clients were lied to in 2007 and foreclosed upon when they were told all was okay and their mod was approved and in the same breath a trustee sale was held and my clients booted out like trash...We took the beating and left the meeting
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN
Well they got their compensation and are very happy. Rust consulting … (7 comments)

banks: THE FORECLOSURE WARS 2006-2012 PART 3 - 04/03/13 11:37 PM
Parts 1 & 2 led us to this point where foreclosed individuals were visited up close and personal by agents all over the Unite States. I remember the injustice of this particular foreclosure at the time. My clients called the bank AHEAD of time to work something out. The bank thought they were crazy and refused to even discuss it. This was at the beginning of the Foreclosure debacle that was to last 7 years and create a business called short sales, boost REO's and make foreclosure a household word...all for the wrong reasons
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY

banks: THE FORECLOSURE WARS 2006-2012 PART 2 - 04/03/13 11:36 PM
We learn in part 1 that there is always a calm before the storm. In this case there was an arrogant calm fueled with artificial stimulus and fraudulent tactics inducing people to purchase and borrow against assets all across America. Equity in the amount of trillions of dollars was singled out by Wall Street and tapped into to produce incredible never before profits making tens of millions and even billions for executives and investors alike
THE PERFECT WAVE IS ABOUT TO CRASH

banks: THE FORECLOSURE WARS 2006-2012 PART 1 - 04/03/13 11:35 PM
It started out innocently enough. It was 2006 a time still of prosperity, jobs, opportunities and investments plus all type of adult toys beckoned. Wall Street had chased away many investors right into Real Estate and the ones that got in early did very well.  For the homeowner to be...If you could prove you are breathing, can sign your name and state you had a job, you could qualify for a loan of up to $500,000.00.

Now here is an unlikely group that is not drawn together out of love...This gathering and those that attend it are drawn together over one thing...this glue that binds them all and that be $$$ MONEY$$$. Whether it is to borrow it, guarantee it, make more using it, or charging for it...it requires that everyone play their part for it to work as expected
THE BORROWER
The borrower needs a loan so that they can have better access to the American dream which is to own something in America or perhaps just make an investment for long term planning. It is … (4 comments)

banks: DEMAND FOR REAL ESTATE INVENTORY STRATEGIC - 02/13/13 10:42 PM
I am suspecting that the banks held up and are holding up inventory in a strategic move some seen coming from 2-3 years ago. Think about this statement for just a moment.  It makes sense to freeze the product thus controlling supply and demand and creating the value after that. Only someone who has that much gold can make the rules such as this one. He who has the gold rules....
NEW LAWS WERE PASSED
Two to Three years ago, it was a frenzy with short sales, defaults, foreclosures abounding and banks breaking the law while handling them all. In the … (8 comments)

banks: MONEY UNDER THE MATTRESS IS NOT URBAN LEGEND - 01/22/13 11:04 PM
If not taken literally, the title of the post means money that can be accessed easily, quickly and without effort. This has been a problem going back thousands of years and to this day too. Even the Pharaohs were daunted with this and came up with a strategy of being buried with it in seal-proof burial chambers (pyramids) so they could keep what they had
$$$ CAN YOU GET TO IT?
Well that didn't work very well because everyone knew were the goodies were. All you had to do is wait until the guy died and then spend the rest of your … (36 comments)

banks: SPANISH LOCKSMITHS REFUSE TO DO LOCKOUTS - 01/14/13 06:18 AM
I am reading that in a city in Spain, the local locksmiths all got together and decided they would not do anymore evictions for the banks. It took them just a few minutes to all agree and then vote it into action. What was compelling and driving the action you may wonder? TO SEE FAMILIES, WOMEN, CHILDREN AND MEN DISPLACED and humiliated while they were thrown into the streets

banks: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 25 BILLION DOLLARS - 01/07/13 02:55 AM
The banks were found guilty of cheating, abusing, misleading, bait & switch and out right fraud and were the main cause of the most recent crashing of Real Estate and the dispossessing of tens of millions of people out of their homes using highly questionable tactics and procedures. The result was they all plead GUILTY and agreed to fines totaling $25 billion dollars
A LITTLE LATE FOR SOME
So far so good you would think. Well for the ones that had to spill foreclosure blood and who paved the way with heartache and suffering, the money and the opportunity to resolve major … (0 comments)

banks: PUTTING YOUR FINGER IN THE PIE...pricing the value of a home - 12/02/12 10:58 PM
That is how people used to tell way back when what kind of pie it was. THE POKE IN THE PIE DOESN'T LIE so to speak. If there is apple on your finger, well we got an apple pie on our hands. Now, in Real Estate, many buyers, sellers, lenders and appraisers are really not sure what a price value (pie) might be. After all, everyone has their point of view
VALUE IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER
As agents, we have access to the data and if the subject property is local to our area, then we have a hands … (3 comments)

banks: OVER BIDDING OR PAYING FOR A HOME LET'S TALK - 11/01/12 12:39 AM
 I recently did a feature  BUYERS MAKE AN OFFER THAT SEALS THE DEAL  were the point of perhaps over-paying for a home made sense. When someone finds what they want, the next step is to purchase it. What they don't expect to find is a TUG OF WAR for the item. In this post, a word of caution to those that want their dream purchase and will pay a little more for it

banks: YOU LOST THE HOUSE NOT THE AGENT - 10/23/12 01:07 AM
I attended a complaint hearing where the buyer who was rejected brought a complaint against the selling agent. This rejected buyer insisted that his agent file the complaint. The basis was that the house sold for less money than the rejected buyers offer and he couldn't understand why the highest bid was not accepted (his) by the bank in this short sale
LESS EMOTIONS...MORE FACTS
The communications between the agents was present, but not optimum. You see they let their argument control the discussion instead of the facts which I will reveal. If they were calm and communicated, it all would have … (9 comments)
